The Boston Journal's Washington spe-cial says that Apostle Cannon, who is the im mediate personal representative of Brig-ham Young in Washington, professes to be unconcerned at the publication of the mes-sage upon Utah affairs. He urges that the distinction made in the organic act does not warrant invidious or exceptional treatment of Utah, insamuch as the same provision was placed in the organic act creating New Mexico a territory, in which the polygamy does not exist, while the legislation recom-mended would, from a Mormon point of view, bring injury to Utah. Elder Cannon considers that the session is so short that the suggested congressional action cannot be secured. Hence he is not disquieted. Mr. Claggett, who represents the ultra anti-Mormon influence in Congress and the Territories, expects that Committees in both branches in Congress will report bills favoring extinction of the system of municipali-ties in Utah, which it is claimed is the most efficient safeguard of Mormon power.
